• Legal Assistant

  • Jul 2014 - Jul 2016

  I have been responsible for the post completion stages for client HMV. This involved handling over 100 matters at one time, requiring excellent organisation skills and communication within my team. This experience has given a good knowledge of SDLT and the registration process. As well as this I have also completed various work for a number of different fee earners. This required me to ensure that I could keep to differing deadlines whilst maintaining a high standard of work. I am able to get up the curve quickly when learning new things and am able to settle into a team quickly. Show less
